All the senior leaders saw Andrew's sudden change of expression. They didn't know how they were supposed to react. They couldn't see Ashley from their screen so they all wondered what was going on.
While they all stood around with confused expressions, Andrew looked up at them. "That's it for today. Give me a new plan. Bye."
He quickly ended the video chat and walked over to Ashley.
Ashley yawned.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
She nodded. "A little. Are you done?"
"Hmm," he responded.
"Okay. I didn't interrupt you, did I? It sounded like you had more things to discuss with them. Hey, don't pull a long face at them. You will scare them. The more afraid they are of you, the more nervous they will be. Then, they could make mistakes that they wouldn't normally have made. Come on, give me a smile!"
Saying this, she held his face in her hands and tried to put a smile on his face.
Andrew could never refuse her. He finally cracked a smile.
"That's it! That's the smile I am talking about," she said cheerfully.
She didn't know that if he started to smile at those senior leaders, they would be even more frightened.
Ashley was probably the only person in the world who could get Andrew to do anything.
She yawned again. "Let's go to bed. I am so tired."
He replied, "Okay."
A few minutes later, they were ready for bed. When they lay in bed, a call came from an unexpected person.
Lena's name appeared on the phone screen.
Looking at her name, Ashley raised an eyebrow. She wondered why she was calling her at such a late hour.
Lena definitely didn't call to ask about Ashley's day.
She was definitely calling to cause trouble.
It was hard for Ashley to not think about Lena in this way. Lena's appearance had never bought any good news for Ashley in the past.
Andrew asked, "Who is it?"
She answered, "Lena. I don't really know what she wants."
He frowned. He couldn't recall the name.
So, he asked, "Who is Lena?"
"She is my stepparents' real daughter and my sister, not by blood."
He finally remembered who Lena was. He could hardly disguise the contempt in his eyes for her.
"If you don't want to deal with her, just don't answer it," he suggested.
"I am kind of curious to know what she has to say," she said.
ered. "She even called you 'brother-in-law.' How dare she? Everyone already knew that I have nothing to do with the Mu family anymore. She still dared to refer to me as her sister. It's really disgusting. I don't really know if she just plays dumb or she is actually that dumb."
Ashley vented out all her frustration in one breath. Then, she gulped a mouthful of air and continued, "Andrew, I think she has a thing for you. What do you think?"
Without waiting for a response, she shot him a look and said, "It's all your fault! Look at your handsome face! It's a face that calls for trouble! Humph! She might be secretly hoping that the baby in her stomach is yours!"
Talking about Lena seemed to fuel the rage burning within her. She could hardly conceal the disgust she felt towards Lena.
Ashley could feel the anger radiating off her body.
She turned away from him, pouting.
Reaching out to her, Andrew held Ashley's face in his hands. Getting his head closer to Ashley's, he said to her calmly but firmly, "Ash, you are angry. You are angry because you are jealous. Am I right? You are jealous that Lena might have feelings towards me. So, you are angry because of me."
This made her blush. She tried to avoid eye contact with Andrew and she denied it. "Feel jealous? Me? There is no way on the earth that I am feeling jealous. Jealousy is not even a word in my dictionary. Don't you know that I have no reason to be jealous? Don't you know that?"
Andrew really enjoyed watching her deny her true feelings. It was so cute!
